✨ Technical Specifications
Finca Las Moras, located in the high-altitude oasis of San Juan, Argentina, crafts the 'Morita' line as an approachable, vibrant expression of the region's unique desert terroir. The name 'Morita', meaning 'little blackberry', pays homage to the abundant mulberry trees that grow throughout the San Juan valleys and gave the winery its name. This Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from vineyards irrigated by pure Andean snowmelt, where intense solar radiation and cool night breezes yield grapes with concentrated fruit flavors and balanced acidity. Fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel to preserve its bright, primary fruit character, this wine offers a fresh, modern take on Argentine Cabernet Sauvignon, emphasizing ripe red berries, subtle black pepper, and soft, accessible tannins.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in the 1990s in San Juan, Argentina, Finca Las Moras emerged as an essential pioneer in reshaping the region's viticultural landscape across the Tulum, Zonda, and Pedernal Valleys. Now part of the Grupo Peñaflor family, the winery takes its name from the native blackberry trees that frame its high-altitude vineyards tucked against the Andes Mountains. Finca Las Moras is celebrated for its innovative and sustainable approach to winemaking, focusing heavily on unlocking the regional potential of Syrah alongside classic Argentine staples like Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and aromatic whites such as Viognier and Sauvignon Blanc. From the accessible and fruit-driven Intis line to complex, terroir-focused reserves, their wines showcase the intense sunshine, mineral-rich soils, and vibrant fruit purity characteristic of San Juan.
